FTA: Latrell mentioned that he didn't have any pictures of himself when he was born and Mrs Higgins' 12-year-old daughter Alycia suggested recreating a shoot just for him.'I thought it was funny and that it would be a good idea,' Mrs Higgins said. 'I was very sad too because I didn't have any photos of him either.'The next day she took a series of pictures of Latrell at home and she recalled that they both laughed 'hysterically' throughout.

There are much, much creepier things than turning a silly idea into a tongue-in-cheek photo shoot where you laugh a lot with your kid.

This really is a cute story, and I'd love to see it as part of a campaign to get older kids adopted. The second ad? "Potty training was a breeze with our little Michael. All we had to do was say "It's down the hall, next to your bedroom." He said "Okay, thanks." And that was it! We were done with potty training. Parenting is awesome!"

I thought it was a great story when I read it two days ago. Haters gonna hate. In this case the haters should be punched in the genitals until they die.

If you think this is "creepy" or "weird", you are probably one of those ppl that buys dogs for fashion and tries to dump them on Craigslist when the animal realizes there is no love or soul inside your hollow farking tin chest.

You can't understand why an orphan wouldn't wistfully regret having no pictures of their childhood? Maybe if you killed yourself, there would be room in your moms basement for someone who is actually human and worth raising,

This is actually really great. A lot of kids in foster care get shuffled around so much and really have no one to do things we all take for granted - like take baby photos and then keep them some where safe for the kids. I have an adopted son and work in a school and always wonder about the small things, like which picture will he use in his Grade 12 yearbook baby photo? It's all fine if you have an option but don't care if your pic gets put in, but if you don't even have the option, that has to sting. My son was adopted at 15 months and now lives in a family of photographers so he's all good.

They need to do way instain mother> who kill thier 13 year old babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back? it was on the news this mroing a mother in ar who had kill her three 13 year old kids. they are taking the three 13 year old babby back to new york too lady to rest my pary are with the father who lost his 13 year old children ; i am truley sorry for your lots

That's a pretty damn good idea.

Thanks! Here's another: Mom's chasing a wild toddler boy around the house Dad turns and says "Congratulations. Looks like you're the NORMAL son in this family." Kid (who is older and perhaps a different race from the parents) nods and says "Thanks, Dad. I mean that."

Molavian:I'd do it for a kid I adopted. Maybe it means the world to him.

This. Over 3 years, and still waiting on the court system. No baby pictures and hardly any bio family pics (at least i could get the ones that were on FB...) Heck, with the way the system works, I may be adopting a teenager when it is all said and done..

That said, I'm late 30's, have multiple kids, and have never changed a diaper. So I have that going for me.

neongoats:I thought it was a great story when I read it two days ago. Haters gonna hate. In this case the haters should be punched in the genitals until they die.

Wow... that would take a very long time. Like, death might come not from the actual genital punching, but from dehydration or exposure depending on the circumstances. At some point, you've got a person so weak and close to death that they're unable to move, but still, someone is there, punching them repeatedly in the genitals. You'd have to have a medical professional present to call the time of death, if for no other reason than to let the puncher know when to finally stop punching.

The wife and I were doing a hospital tour last night (baby due next month). In the hallway they had cork boards filled with baby pictures. Apparently they have people who come around right after the kid is born and try to sell you baby glamor shots. fark that noise. Anyhow, it was all I could do to keep from cracking up at some of them. My favorite was a shot of the hospital from outside, with a disembodied baby's head floating above it in the sky. It was just laughably bad.

This reminds me of an episode of "You can't do that on Television" when they had 15-year-old Kevin in a baby diaper and baby bonnet taking pictures of him because they didn't have any baby pictures of him.
